Louise Power, a mother of two from Ballina, Co. Mayo, is using her experience of living with multiple sclerosis (MS) to raise awareness and encourage understanding of hidden disabilities. Through the MS Readathon, Louise hopes to inspire others to support people living with MS and to help fund vital services provided by MS Ireland.

MS Ireland is supporting the HSE Dublin and North East Patient and Service User Council recruitment and encouraging people living with multiple sclerosis, their families, and carers to get involved.

MS Ireland has published its Annual Report 2024 and shared our AGM 2025 Presentation, highlighting a year of resilience, progress, and our plans for the future.

There are four types of MS, each with its own characteristics. Some people may be only mildly affected throughout their lives while, for others, progression may occur quite quickly. Most people with MS experience something in between these extremes. It is not always clear what type of MS someone has, particularly when newly diagnosed. Regardless of the type of MS, health professionals will base symptom management on individual needs.

Bladder and bowel problems can be all too familiar for people with MS. However, people do not have to cope alone, as these problems can almost always be managed effectively and help is available.

Most people who start out with relapsing remitting MS later develop a form that is known as secondary progressive MS.
